Could not locate this item

I created a household of 6 and saved to the library. Next day the thumbnail for this household is missing and instead I get a blank space with a red X on top. I click on it and a message pops up: "could not locate this item". It won't let me load it to edit in CAS and won't let me delete it, either.

Does anybody know how to at least delete this from the library? :/

    Oh my goodness, this whole time we were out here breaking our libraries because apparently there was a limit of 50 saves & nobody cared to tell us that?? I've just downloaded the latest patch but haven't played to test it yet, hopefully everything is working much better now.


    I know right?! They really should have told us. I had a few households saved to my library that broke and I had to delete them. I guess it was because I had went over 50...


    We can only upload 50 creations to our own library?
    I am sorry to hear you have had to delete them :(
    This is terrible.
    Only 50
    That's not much at all. Especially if you want to save households to as that number will quickly go up.

    I spend a lot of time building my lots . as a lot of us do. I don't want to loose any of them..
    This really is terrible...
  • The thing is, I don't think I was anywhere near 50 creations when the problem started. Never been.
  • Sim Guru Nick also said that a save's size also influences the number of saves that can be made to the library. According to him, since lot saves are larger in size than household saves, if you have more of those you'll most likely have less total saves in your library. I've since begun playing my game & am pleased to see that those corrupted blue saves are gone & now have an explanation & temporary resolution for the saves deleting themselves. Also the addition of the 'my households' category can help take the place of the library for some households (depending on how you like to play).
